Why I Love Nitrox....

[RebreatherDave]

OK, things are a bit slow here today, so I thought I'd jumpstart the topic.

Feel free to agree/disagree........

1. Because I get longer bottom times

For typical shallow profiles wherre ndl's are not as factor, jsut gas volume, then no, if you do repetative or deeper profiles running up against ndl's, then yes.

2. Less narcosis

Agree

3. And....have you heard this one before?

yes, I've heard it before, lol

4. Less fatigue from residual nitrogen/non-symptomatic 'micro-bubbles' on a day of multi-diving.

Possible less fatigue from heavy exertion, havn't heard of the latter, but sounds intriguing.

DAN has now recognized 'fatigue' as a manifestation of otherwise, non-symptomatic DCS--meaning, your only 'micro-bubble' symptom is 'excessive fatigue' after a long day of diving on air.

Nitrox reduces this. At least, that's been my experience.

Feel free to tell me it's all in my head.

Just like the fatigue relief experienced by Richard Pyle on the 'deep stops' named after him, 'Pyle stops.'

Great topic Mike!

Pyle by the way has been hired as a consultant to Cis-Lunar for their Mk6 development with Bill Stone.
